Pink Soda Sport

So, yesterday I headed off in the direction of Malvern for an impromptu break. Having now returned, I can confirm that rest and relaxation was definitely on the cards, along with an eyebrow-raising amount of sweet food. Oops. I'll be the first to admit my nutrition has never exactly been 100% 'clean', however as you may well know by now, I'm a bit of a fitness-fanatic! The deeper I delve into the world of fitness, the more tips and techniques I'm discovering and the more inspiration I'm stumbling across - seriously, Instagram in particular is such a massive source of motivation with regard to fitness accounts. Personally speaking, one of the greatest motivators for me is activewear; both how it looks and how it feels. With this in mind, say hello to LA-inspired Pink Soda Sport, a collection bursting with lifestyle and fitness essentials that let you 'run, spin and stretch in style'...

Pink Soda Sport was launched in JD Sport stores - a chain specialising in training shoes, casual sportswear and accessories - in March of this year. Over the years, many of my running basics have been purchased from JD and so a fair level of trust has been built up thanks to the many pairs of lycra shorts sitting in the sports section of my wardrobe. With that in mind, I was already on board with Pink Soda Sport's functional and yet attractive sportswear. However, then throw the line 'from gym-to-street in style' my way and well, you've created a committed fan!

The best aspect of their collection has to be how the pieces have been made with layering in mind. I mean, sure, I'm pretty open with fashion when it comes to clashing prints and colours. However as soon as the discussion of fitnesswear pops up, I instantly become matchy-matchy - definitely not alone on that one. This heather grey tracksuit is ideal for getting you from A to B without allowing you to freeze in the process; and personally speaking, the thick material feels like a warm hug after bouncing around in far less clothing beforehand! I'd love to suggest the fleece-lining being unsuitable for summer, but we all know how temperamental the weather can be and especially so in England...Though I adore this entire Pink Soda outfit, my favourite piece is probably the stylish Mesh T-shirt. Running and/or working out in sports bras isn't always ideal (or appropriate, depending on where you are) and so the relaxed yet sporty style of this monochrome top is a key piece to have at hand. The mesh panelling to the sleeves combined with the cropped hemline makes it totally ideal, while preserving your modesty a little bit on those days when baring all doesn't seem that appealing!

If running is your thing, I would recommend keeping the super-flattering black sports bra for the gym and/or light workouts. As gorgeous as it is (check out that geometric back design!), the lack of support means it's just not suitable for bouncing up and down. However, speaking as someone who's forever on the lookout for activewear that doubles up for most types of exercise, if you're looking for leggings that stay up and in place, massively flatter and earn compliments while doing so, I'd suggest trying these Capri Leggings. They're made with a sweat-wicking fabric that pulls moisture away from the skin, as well as a flattering wide waistband.

Psst! The Capri Leggings are designed with a hidden key pocket!

With these gorgeous pieces, my activewear wardrobe is well and truly ready for the season ahead and all the many fitness goals I've set. Speaking of which, my knee is feeling one million times better now and so outside of my current fitness regime, it looks as though I'll be able to return to running soon - wrapped in Pink Soda Sport fitness essentials and listening to my Revamped Fitness Playlist, of course!

Not sure if it's the line itself or you, but, Gabrielle, you are looking SO good in these photos! I don't think that the fleece material will do me any good in the equatorial weather we have here, but ahh, the sports bra is winning me over!

oh my gosh, LOVE these, you look so sporty and yet perfect and fashionable<3 I totally agree, with the right clothing, you're even more motivated to reach your fitness goals *_*http://www.youtube.com/c/MissLovelyAttitudehttp://lovelyattitude.com

You look great! I've never been ultra-fit but for a year or so I did really well at getting up early and attending fitness classes . . . then I got pregnant and sick and just got out of the habit. Maybe once this baby is here I'll buy some cute workout clothes and get started again.

Stunning design & such beautiful details - always happy to discover new brands! Thanks for sharing Pink Soda with us, Gabrielle. Never in a million years I would say that your diet isn't "clean" because you look stunning and so fit. In most cases no matter how hard we try to work out, nutrition has to be "cleaned up" as well. This is so my case. I have literally just finished a Kit Kat bar along with a cup of coffee with milk & sugar. So bad! I do lack energy big time though. Lovely & inspirational post hon. Bye bye Kit Kat! Hello, Pink Soda :)xox Nadiahttp://www.mielandmint.com/

I really like the sports bra and leggings and it's nice to see you supporting newly launched brand. I love it when fashion meets fitness, it gives me a huge boost of motivation when I buy a new fancy sportswear.

Even though your diet isn't completely clean, at least your workout habits make up for it! That mesh top is really nice. I love how it is cropped, and the overall style is perfect for working out. I am so not the type to go out in just a sports bra when I workout because I'm already self conscious enough as it is while exercising, I can't just go out half naked! So I totally agree with what you said.

Definitely agree - I love matching sport-wear, there's something fun about getting it all into a theme. The mesh top looks great for the hotter months as well and I like that heather grey shade too. Very pretty. - Tasha

I love this entire look, so stylish and practical. I love the track suit, you can tell that it's really cozy! I also love the back of the sports bra, shirt and those leggings, too! Thanks so much for sharing, I'm always on the look out for new fitness brands, so this was helpful! I hope you have a great weekend ahead and girl, your hair looks fabulous!

To be honest, this outfit looks perfect for me just to lounge around in my house hahahahaha! What can I say? Active wear is my lounge wear! All that said, Pink Soda looks wonderful! The thick material makes it perfect to keep comfy while exercising! <3

I'm always looking for sassy new gymwear, how have I never heard of Pinksoda? I love what you're wearing, the little hints of colour are so cute and you just generally look gorgeous as ever! Teach me your ways haha xxhttp://britishmermaid.blogspot.co.uk

All these active wear pieces you presented in this post are simply divine! I absolutely love that first pink and grey combo!!!! The combo of those leggings and sports bra/top is equally gorgeous! You look very very very fit (and very beautiful)! Great photos, I can totally see them framed in some gym, they're just the perfect fitness inspiration ( I haven't tried looking for fitness inspo on insta yet, but maybe I'll give it a try, the most common hastag I type in my search engine right now is fashion illustration:)). Anyway, phenomenal collaboration and photography!

The weather is unpredictable here as well. Yesterday I look in the mirror and realized that I'm PALE and I'm that person that tans in a day...we had so many rainy days that I literally lost my tan. I don't think I've ever been this white at this time of year, usually by this time I have my Mediterranean tan game on, but not this year ha ha ha ha.

I feel like having a good outfit to work out in makes you want to go so much more! What a great range of clothes to choose from, they look so comfortable and the idea of a hidden key pocket is a great idea!

Love this outfit - pink and grey is one of my favourite colour combinations, especially when it comes to activewear. I agree, too - when I have great sportswear in my closet, I'm that much more motivated to wear it and look great working out in it, haha. You look gorgeous in yours!
